HostLedger 36-Month Tariff Accounting Methodology & Evidentiary Charter

1. HostLedger Public-Schedule Sourcing & Deterministic Tariff Accounting

HostLedger does not claim proprietary hardware lab benchmarks or synthetic latency probes. Every promotional rate, post-promotional renewal tariff, published resource specification (vCPU cores, GB DDR4/DDR5 RAM, GB/TB NVMe or ZFS storage, TB monthly transfer), and refund window on HostLedger is sourced directly from official vendor pricing pages and billing terms retrieved on 2026-11-12.

2. HostLedger 12 / 24 / 36-Month Cumulative Cash-Flow Equations

// Case A: Multi-Year Upfront Lock (L = 24 or 36 months)
HostLedger_TCO(H) = min(H, L) * Promo_Mo + max(0, H - L) * Renewal_Mo + Domain(H) + H * Addons_Mo

// Case B: Annual 12-Month Roll (Promo applies to Months 1..12 only)
HostLedger_TCO(H) = min(H, 12) * Promo_Mo + max(0, H - 12) * Renewal_Mo + Domain(H) + H * Addons_Mo

// Case C: Pure Month-to-Month Cycle (Zero Prepayment)
HostLedger_TCO(H) = H * Monthly_NoLock_Rate + Domain(H) + H * Addons_Mo

Where Domain(H) on HostLedger evaluates to $0.00 across Years 1, 2, and 3 under ChemiCloud’s published Free Lifetime Domain clause; $0.00 in Year 1 plus $16.99/yr in Years 2–3 on Hostinger annual/multi-year web plans; and $7.99 in Year 1 plus $14.50/yr in Years 2–3 when optionally bundled on InterServer.

3. HostLedger Transparent Evidentiary Placeholders & Price Volatility

Where live Year-2 or Year-3 production renewal receipts are not yet archived in our public repository, HostLedger recommends verifying renewal invoices directly inside your vendor billing portal. Prices and promotional discounts change frequently; verify live checkout pricing on the vendor's official page.
